Around Tomintoul. Back in May - another utterly gorgeous day!

A colour photograph in portrait orientation of the Water of Ailnack at Delnabo, Scotland.

It was a bright sunny day, the sun shining from the left (south) of a steep river gorge, creating to deep shadows and bright highlights. The shallow river passes through a glen with steep sides which are lined with confiers.

A colour photograph in landscape orientation of Cnoc Lochy from the Speyside Way, near Tomintoul, Scotland in May 2024.

The picture shows a hillside taken from across the valley formed by Conglass Water on the the Speyside Way. The picture has three main parts. On the left is a heather covered hillside with some green patches of grass. On the right is a plantation of fir trees, with a path where the plantation meets the heather, which rises to the top of the hill, Cnoc Lochy.

The sky, a very pale, washed out blue, occupies the top third of the picture. On the horizon, formed by the hillside, is a line of fir trees extending from the plantation, almost as if the trees were marching across the landscape.

A black and white photograph of the view from the Speyside Way, looking approximately south-south west over the village of Tomintoul to the Cairngorm mountains about ten miles away.
In the foreground is the valley of Conglass Water, which is agricultural land, leading to some light woodland and the buildings of the village of Tomintoul. Behind the village are some gentle hills formed by the River Avon, leading to the high mountain plateaux of Ben Avon and Ben a' Bhuird. The mountains have the remains of the winter's snow in the north facing gullies, and a knobbly appearance on their tops.
The sky fills the top third of the photograph, with some dense cumulus clouds.

A colour photograph in landscape orientation of the Riven Avon from a bridge at Delavorar near Tomintoul, looking roughly south west.

The river is gently flowing and quite wide but shallow at this point. The banks of are wooded with broadleaved and conifer trees, with meadows on each side. The bottom of the river is full of rocks and pebbles, which form islands in the fast running water. In the mid distance is a heavily wooded hill.

The scene is strongly lit by the sun from the left, creating deep shadows and bright highlights.

A suspension bridge spans over a river, with lush green trees and blue skies in the background. Clouds add texture to the sky, while reflections of the bridge are visible in the water below.

Aberlour, or Charlestown of Aberlour, standing beside the River Spey in the heart of Speyside. It was founded in 1812 close to the site of a much older church and settlement. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/aberlour/aberlour/index.html

Aberlour, or Charlestown of Aberlour. The image shows a street with two storey stone buildings on the left and a stone church on the right, beyond an open area. The land rises in the distance. There's part of a sign on the gable on the left which is probably for a restaurant. The scene is in sunlight.

„Speyside“ ist der erste neue Bon-Iver-Song seit gut vier Jahren. Der Track markiert für den Musiker den Neuanfang nach einer dunklen Zeit und die Rückkehr zu den Folk-Wurzeln seines Debütalbums.

267 years ago today. Thomas Telford, the civil engineer whose works transformed Scotland and had a huge impact elsewhere, was born near Westerkirk in Dumfries-shire on 9 August 1757. This is his bridge at Craigellachie in Moray. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/t/thomastelford.html

Craigellachie Bridge. The image shows the sandy shoreline of a river in the foreground with a rocky far shore rising steeply and covered in trees. An arched metal bridge crosses the river with abutments that look like castles from a chess set. The bridge has a lattice construction and is well above the viewer. The scene is in sunlight.

Inside the Speyside Cooperage near Craigellachie in Moray, in the heart of distillery country. The amazing skills on display have changed little since medieval times but remain vital today. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/craigellachie/speysidecooperage/index.html

Inside the Speyside Cooperage. The image shows the interior of a large industrial building. There are two areas of work stretching across the frame. At each people are working on the construction of barrels and parts of barrels are place and piled at different points throughout the area.

A real superstar amongst Scottish castles, this is Ballindalloch Castle on Speyside. Its origins date back to a Z-plan defensive tower house that was built here, probably in 1546, and it's been home to one family ever since. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ballindalloch/castle/index.html

Ballindalloch Castle on Speyside. The image shows a large berige-harled tower house left centre with a three storey wing extending back and to the left of it, and a longer two storey wing extending back and to the right of it. There is a lawn in the foreground and trees in the background. The sky is largely blue and the castle is in sunlight.

The Inveravon Pictish Stones, displayed in the old porch of Inveravon Parish Church near Ballindalloch on Speyside. This collection of four carved stones probably dates back to the period between 600 and 800. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ballindalloch/inveravonstones/index.html

Parts of open wooden doors can be seen either side.

And that makes number 14 of Whisky Distilleries visited.

Glenfarclas was good fun, and beautiful Speyside whisky. Unique in they remain family owned, a rarer and rarer sight three days.

Can recommend. I overall prefer whisky that hits a little harder, but can see why so many have recommended this before! Will definitely have again in the future.

Our latest landscape: 'Sunset on the River Spey', original watercolour, 58 x 37 cm, and prints are also available in 4 sizes. We're just north of Fochabers, on the Speyside Way Walk beside the river and looking back into the sunset and that wonderfully big sky.The painting and prints are available, with pricing and details, at www.robwighamwatercolours.com/speysunset.html

A view over a wide river (the Spey in northern Scotland), with a track with puddles at left and the setting sun cutting the horizon just right of centre. The vegetation and trees cast long shadows!

Cheap and cheerful Speyside

Glen Keith Distillery Edition, NAS, CF, e150a, 40%abv.

Glen Keith produce some very expensive single malts. this isn't one - a bargain at £20 . Toffee and vanilla with a strong whiff of pear drops. Nice sweet mouthful, some banana, mild spice and a bit of caramel. Uncomplicated with a wee bit harshness disappearing to honey on the finish. Glen Keith is the main malt in Chivas Regal and 100 Pipers blends.
